An Era of Change: The Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1971-1997

Abstract

This history of the Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, covers the organization's activities during the 1970s, 1980s, and through much of the 1990s. In civil works, including water resources development, recreation, emergency management, and regulatory activities, this was a period of great change and challenge for the Corps and the Tulsa District. likewise, in military construction activities, the Army engineers and Tulsa District personnel responded to a complex array of national defense needs, including housing, training facilities, and environmental restoration. From national development demands and constraints to geopolitical transformations, the Corps of Engineers and districts like Tulsa strove to meet local needs and cope with international challenges of the modem world. What follows is the story of one Corps district and its activities in Oklahoma, and parts of Texas, Arkansas, and Kansas.
